## About the role

As a Sr. Manufacturing Engineer on the Operations team, you'll be on the shop floor every day — owning the processes, tooling, and workflows that bring our core fusion hardware to life. You'll work alongside a small team of technicians, drive continuous improvement across the build line, and work closely with design engineering to make sure our pulser modules are built right, every time.

## What they're looking for

- 3–7 years of manufacturing or process engineering experience in a hands-on production environment
- Demonstrated experience leading or mentoring technicians on a production floor
- Strong understanding of mechanical assembly processes, work instruction development, and production documentation
- Hands-on experience with complex electromechanical assembly — high voltage, pulsed power, precision mechanical, or similarly demanding hardware preferred
- Familiarity with quality management systems, non-conformance processes, and root cause analysis methodologies (8D, 5-Why, Fishbone)
- Ability to read, interpret, and create engineering drawings, schematics, and GD&T
